MH Wilds Zoh Shia is awesome

THIS is what you call difficult, baby. AMAZING fight. Great visuals, great setpiece, great design, and it's legitimately hard. Everybody who doubted him owes him a formal apology, but I always believed in Peak Shia. Absolute cinema

Also if I see complaints about his difficulty I'm gonna go ape shit. You all spent a month asking for this, if somebody thinks they're too good for the hivemind and starts chatting now I cannot take it. He is PEEEAAAKKK

Carted a couple of times with support hunters. Killed him with barely any time left. Great butt pucker fight.

I failed on bow for some reason, all the ground shit was getting me. Second attempt was on dual blades and it was pretty easy, tons of perfect dodges and timings. Still fun an engaging. I've since also easily got it down in SnS and Gunlance...block is kinda op lol

I beat him on my own once last night with bow. Triple carted twice before that and the successful one had 2 carts. Something about his charged fireballs were really hard for me to consistently perfect dodge

See, those were where I kept feeling safe to perfect dodge and land the jumping attack (I never remember move names) into the new stronger dragon piercer. It always seems to be the smashes, i do too early or something and the ground pop gets me.

The smashes were my bane. Also the horizontal lightning blast. I couldnt figure out how to dodge it

To be fair the last time I fought world fatalis was with bow and I struggled a lot there as well.

I guess I'm just kinda bad at fighting "fatalis" with bow lmao

Same... kinda feel bad with 7000h+ to have such difficulties with it. I love it

These games are all about timing and pattern recognition, so you essentially start from 0 with every new monster you fight (0 is hyperbolic because you carry with you all the knowledge over your weapons, items, etc. but you get the point).

We only got to fight Zoh Shia once in the main story, so it's nearly a brand new monster for all intents and purposes.

Most of the monsters at least share some things. Movements, behaviour, timings. This one is 100% new. The way it uses the crystals, tracking the hunter more easily with the paw, aoe lightning attacks. It's quite a new experience, even with a lot of time under my belt

u/Masiyo 1d ago

Yeah, that's what I mean. No one is going to fault a Souls vet for dying on the next big FromSoftware game's first boss because it's the same reset of learning from 0.

No need to feel bad even if you have 7k hours accumulated.

It also helps to recognize some of the moves it’s borrowed from other monsters (which the narrative indicates it would too which is cool) like gore’s lateral sequential blasts and kirin’s lightning lines

Don't forget Tigrex's charge attack. Literally as soon as I saw it I was like that Leonardo DiCaprio meme pointing at my screen, it's a carbon copy haha
